rise soufflé - Fort Worth

★★★★★ 4.5 (730) • $$

"Absolutely delicious food and wonderful staff!! The ambiance is warm and inviting. A genuine Parisian feel."

Fixe Southern House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (543) • $$

"In 2021, I said... "best biscuits in town." I'm pretty sure that still holds as of now. The biscuits are fluffy, buttery and paired with the best spreads: salted whipped butter, golden natural honey and sweet seasonal jam. You always need to start with an order of these here. Heck, you could go and just get coffee or a cocktail with them. You'd be happy with your breakfast! We were last there with a group so we had an order of biscuits, pimento cheese and entrees. I tried their chicken biscuit sandwich. It had a fried chicken thigh, kale apple slaw and honey. It was delish! Surprisingly, I also really enjoyed the pimento cheese. I'm not a typical pc gal, but this one seemed to have more flavor and heat to it. Overall, we had a really lovely brunch! The entire party seemed happy with the food, service (shout out to Melody for all the water refills and being patient with us!), ambiance and (of course)... the biscuits!"

Ramen Izakaya Akira

★★★★☆ 4.3 (506) • $$

"So technically the owner is nextdoor at the former Moonglow and is still serving ramen plus a French Japanese cuisine. This is still the best restaurant around and is a quiet place to dine in peace. The chef told us tonight he intends for his restaurant to be like your own personal chef. There are not many places like this anywhere. Always the best experience. Arigato."

Taste of Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (527) • $$

"This is my go to Thai food place. Flavorful delicious food and good portions. Haven't ordered anything I didn't like. Their Thai tea is always hit or miss but the food is always on point."

Nish! Mediterranean Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (319) • $$

"There are not many Mediterranean places in Fort Worth so Nish! can certainly capitalize on a lack of competition. We had stopped by after reading the reviews, but unfortunately left hoping for better. The biggest pro - the service. We had come during the lunch rush and there was one server serving the 10ish tables. She handled everyone's orders and requests with grace and went non stop. Give her a raise! The food - is good, but the biggest question mark was the beef. We had gotten the arayes appetizer, which barely had any ground beef, and the beef kabobs did not seem fresh. My partner had gotten the beef shawarma and same thing, good flavor, but can tell it wasn't fresh. The chicken was fine. The rice also was a bit bland.If you're craving some Mediterranean food in the Fort Worth area, Nish! Is an option, but temper expectations ahead of time."

Nonna Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (361) • $$$

"I'm picky when it comes to Italian food. I will say compared to what we have in Texas this is on the higher end of options but I've had better. The best dish was the mortadella pistachio pizza. Sadly, the truffle cream sauce pasta (white sauce in photo) had no salt! The flavor was just bland with that. Overall it was a good meal but not mind blowing. We were sitting by the door and the waiter opened it to let some people leave and we got blasted with cold winter air which also quickly cooled off our food, just something that should be considered when eating somewhere nicer. Dark vibes, cool lounge area."

Burgers & Curries

★★★★★ 4.5 (200) • $$

"We tried the new Burgers & Curries. It has an unfortunate location on Custer because as you go north from Hedgecox it's right on the curve.The had 20 items on their buffet. All were well spiced. Some had too much chili for my wife but the spices were very good. The rasam (soup?) was the best I've had in years. The chili chicken curry had a great aroma and flavor.We will definitely be back."

CRUDE Craft Coffee Bar

★★★★★ 4.7 (178) • $

"YUMMIES!! So I just popped into this place one morning because I was starving but wanted to get a quick small bite and coffee is always on my radar. When I tell you this little coffee spot is darling that is what it is. The service is patient, professional and polite. I got the Dulce De Leche Latte and I will get it again and again. They have house made syrups. I tried the cake they have there no picture I ate that cake up so fast and it is sooooo scrumptious!!! I think it's some type of pecan pound cake and it is gluten free... I do not usually like gluten free desserts but this thing off the charts good. We tried the Maple Almond Honeycomb and that was delicious as well. The coffee bar is clean and cute."

La Gondola

★★★★☆ 3.8 (268) • $$

"I love this restaurant! They serve the most perfect fettuccine alfredo, and the best Caesar salad with anchovies that I have ever eaten in my life! The atmosphere is romantic and it's not The staff is very friendly. I can't wait to more dishes.PROS1) Plenty of parking 2) Great staff3) Perfect fettuccine alfredo4) Perfect Caesar salad with anchovies5) Good calamari6) Calming atmosphere"

Sushi Sakana Southlake

★★★★★ 4.7 (175) • $$

"High quality sushi with good ambiance. Servers were pleasant and welcoming, I would definitely come back!!!!!!"

Los Vaqueros Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (332) • $$

"First off, the food: 1) The fajitas were primo! Probably the best chicken fajita meat I have had in years. 2) The kids meals were very good. Service: They were serving between 120 to 140 when we were there, which was dangerously close to their capacity. From the moment they took my order (I was the last of the 7 of us), the food was on the table in 22 minutes. The wait staff were efficient, and seemed to help each other when needed. Nice to see that kind of cooperation. Especially in a busy establishment!It is a nice looking place. The 'ambiance,' if you could call it that, is 'clean and uncluttered.' All of that is why they got 5-stars!Now let me give you a couple of hints that you REALLY NEED to take SERIOUSLY!!!1) Make a reservation. We arrived a tad late for ours and it took about 20 minutes to be seated. The folks who arrived when we did without a reservation were told they had a two hour wait.2) This place is next-door to Billy Bob's, so you need to plan on arriving at least 20 minutes early so you can make your way through the crowd."

Pandan Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (212) • $$

"i've picked up dinner from here once! I got the tofu pad thai and the tofu satay! both were very delicious!! i'm very impressed with the amount of veggie friendly options here. the restaurant staff were pretty quick to get the order together and take my payment. the restaurant looks a little small inside but there are places for people to dine in! will definitely be picking up dinner from here again."

AJ's On Main

★★★★☆ 3.5 (193) • $$

"I was puzzled by the mixed reviews, however decided to give it a shot! Inside is small with a (dive) bar like atmosphere. BUT there's outdoor/ patio dining (on Grapevine Main Street) with a water dish for dogs (apparently dog friendly). Clean, with friendly staff. Service was very good!We shared the 4 meat plate ($20) which came with one side (we got baked beans/ loved them). More than enough for two! The sausage was spice, as I like it, the brisket was very moist (didn't need BBQ sauce) however the BBQ sauce was good! The pulled pork was also great!After we were done, AJ (the owner) stopped by to make sure all was well... and it was! He is an Air Force veteran and by the way, gives Vets a discount... additionally, he's a former Grapevine Police Officer. And a great conversationalist! All great reasons to go there!"

Curly's Frozen Custard

★★★★☆ 3.6 (178) • $

"First time at Curly's and will definitely be back! I ordered the dairy free vanilla custard with cheesecake bites, and we also had the Tropical concrete. We got single servings each and that was more than enough! My dairy free vanilla/cheesecake bite custard was delicious! The tropical concrete was also amazing! The young lady at the window was very friendly, and everything was so clean! I also loved the little outside area to sit."

Vie a Paris

★★★★☆ 4 (139) • $$

"This France inspired bakery has a decent selection of desserts. There are plenty of places to sit, beautiful and tall plants for decor and the lady who served me was patient. I ended up getting the almond croissant and a mocha macaroon. If you are paying with card there is a $5 limit. The almond croissant was big and flavorful. The mocha flavored macaroon was crisp and delicious. The pricing is on par with other bakery shops. All in all cute shop near the north east mall. #smallbusinesssaturday"

Street Bowl Scratch Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (108) • $$

"Let's talk about this place... first of all it's a simple, small, unpretentious, authentic Thai restaurant.Second, the owner Nick makes you feel welcome right away, try to converse a little and you'll see.Now the food! I went easy with steamed Gyoza and Panang curry. Small place and first generation Thai owner, my expectations were over the roof.Nick didn't disappoint: quick service, fresh food, genuine flavors and spicy just enough.You got me.. gotta go back to try more dishes. See you soon"

The Fillin' Station

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (187) • $

"I ordered online so I can really only comment on the food. The food was fantastic. You know your doing well when they ask you to choose how to cook your burger. I chose medium well and it was cooked perfectly. I didn't realize I was getting fries. They are a bit average. I did love the onion rings cut very thin. Such a treat to get these items. The grilled onions and jalapeños on my burger were awesome as well. I am at a hotel w my dog so I wish I could have visited here."

Feng Cha

Sol Dias

★★★★☆ 4.2 (100) • $

"I wish I still lived close by. My husband and I love this place. Their churros are so good. Anytime we pass through that area my husband goes 'you want a churro?' But that's not the only good thing. They have lots of options. Their elote and mangonadas are also so good. Any Mexican street food you get here will hit the spot. Highly, highly recommend!"

Grace's Tiers Bakery

★★★★★ 5 (65)

"Excellent bakery goods! So kind and helpful during my selection( and there is a lot to choose from) go and you won't be disappointed!"

Real Thai Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.7 (73) • $$

"I know it hasn't been very long since my last review, but I felt compelled to update after going in person a couple times now! I told yall we couldn't stop eating this food... and I still haven't taken many photos, ugh! I'm telling you once this food is in front of you there are no thoughts beyond "eat immediately." It's too good. I'm making my way through their curries and so far I've had the red most often but also the green, yellow, and massaman. That leaves panang and pineapple to look forward to, then maybe I'll move on to pad thai (I need to ask them about gluten free options). Meanwhile, the soup Jon loves is the Khao soi gai (I named the wrong soup in my last review oops) which is chicken and egg noodles in a yellow curry broth with crunchy egg noodles on top! He says he wants this to be his last meal before death... I would die happy eating the Tom Kha soup. The restaurant is in a busy strip mall on Collins with lots of neighboring Asian owned businesses. It's warmly lit and cozy inside, just one big, open, square room with lots of tables. Our waitress was lovely and recommended beer for Jon and made sure everything was just right. Obviously I thoroughly enjoyed my canned Coke poured fresh over ice, though I considered getting a Thai coffee. They also have Thai tea, green tea, boba, lemonade, sparkling lime, all your Coca Cola brand soft drinks, and chompoo (pink) milk which I want to try, because how cute?Prices here are fantastic especially for this food, which is truly insanely good. Somehow it's all just richer and better seasoned or better balanced than most, or something. The chef really is phenomenal and the staff and the menu won't let you down."

House Kabob & Gyro

★★★★★ 4.9 (67)

"This place is fantastic. They went over the top for us when we dined in earlier this month. We each ordered and entree and drink. And was given hummus/pita and fries complimentary!!! I don't know if it was because we shared it was it our first time there or if it was because we were dining in or just because it was later on the evening. Either way, without that... the portion sizes were plenty!! The food was delish and the guys were friendly and on top of it. I went to ask for to go containers and they were already walking out with them for us! We will definitely return!"

Akarii Revolving Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (84) • $$

"Our daughter LOVES sushi, so we've started a tradition of bringing her to Akarii every time she's in town! It's so fun to spot our favorites coming down the belt, portions are just right, we always get to try something new, and everything is fresh and yummy!By no means is this elevated Japanese food, but for the price and experience, we literally cannot ask for more! We've been happy AND bursting out of our pants every single time. Oh, I always get a bowl of watermelon at the beginning, which acts as a palate cleanser but is also super refreshing between bites, and at the end I always get an order (or 2) of the sesame balls!Great family meal and so much fun!"

Oh My BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (117) • $

"Tbh I was craving some ribs and I happen to come across them. Thank God they were open and they were very nice. I absolutely enjoyed the ribs, the fries were good, my nephew loved them! The potato salad was different but not nasty nor the baked beans! So overall I had a great dinner from here. I highly recommend if you're in Arlington and crave some ribs, you won't waste ur money! Five stars!!"

Love Sweet Things Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (62) • $$

"I was so impressed with my cake. It was exactly what I asked for and more. So many compliments on it. I got a chocolate cake with raspberry filling. Perfect balance between cake and filling. The icing was also very good. I've used the bakery before and always been happy with their cakes. A little expensive but worth it."

D. Smith's Chicken & Fish

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (104)

"Whoever said that this was the best catfish you've ever had you're LIAR !!!!Was craving some catfish Google this place stopped by BUT something told me I should have just made my own catfish at home smh!!!SO I made my order for pickup at 6:11 I arrive at 6:17 and my order is absolutely "lukewarm" ... The fries feel like they were placed in the microwave tossed in some seasoning and dump into the Togo container...NEVER AGAIN .... I wouldnt recommend this to nobody !! For the lack of black owned businesses and the lack of catfish anywhere in Arlington y'all should be ashamed to have this as a business... Sorry but it's the truth"

We will be here for two weeks so we will definitely be ordering again! Thank you so much Outlaw's! We really enjoyed it!"

Deccan Spice

★★★★★ 4.5 (50)

"I always crave the masala dosa from Deccan but this time wanted to try a new dish and got the tandoori chicken daal tadka and I've never had anything like it. It was full of flavor and spice. Service was exceptional. Our server, Shashi, brought out pickled mangoes for us to try and some yogurt for when the food got too spicy. Grateful to have this restaurant so close to home!"
